I finally abandoned it a few weeks ago...after 21 years on the platform. That sounds insane but I have spent more than half my life with it. I happen to be exactly zuck's age so I have seen it through every iteration, first as just a network for college, then with other colleges, the whole "poking" feature, intro of news feeds and pictures, expanding to the public...every time some big feature came out it felt invasive and wrong. Like I don't want people to see pictures of me or know about my day...until after years... it wasn't weird anymore. Time to go back to just not being perceived so much. It had some benefits. I do kind of miss not being able to be in touch with folks from my past. I also liked buy nothing through it. But net-net, all the harm it's done is not worth the benefits. See the details from the latest whistleblower book - Careless People. It's pretty bad, particularly what they were willing to do in China, custom censoring tools for CCP, handing over ALL user data to Xi and a whole lot more. They didn't succeed in getting into China but what Zuck was willing to do has me convinced he would sell every last one of us for an ounce more of "power." It ain't worth it anymore.
